4iG (ISIN HU0000167788) received a Ba1 credit rating with a positive outlook on October 1, 2026, placing its telecommunications holding one notch below investment grade, according to 4iG. The assessment supports preparations for an international bond issue planned for October, with proceeds intended mainly to refinance acquisition loans and support regional expansion.

What does Ba1 mean for funding?

The rating gives 4iG a quantified credit benchmark as it prepares for capital-market financing. The company release says Ba1 is the highest grade below investment grade and assigns the proposed bonds the same rating. It also cites a forecast adjusted EBITDA margin of 35 percent for 2026 and close to 40 percent by 2030, although those figures are forecasts rather than reported results.

The financing context is important because the group has built a regional telecommunications portfolio in Hungary and the Western Balkans. The Budapest Stock Exchange describes 4iG as a holding company active in telecommunications, IT, broadcasting, satellite and technology industries, while its profile identifies Software & IT Services as the sector.

First-half sales rose 16.69 percent

4iG's latest interim figures show net sales of HUF 409,365 million in the first half of 2026, compared with HUF 350,827 million in the first half of 2025. That represents a 16.69 percent increase, while operating profit declined to HUF 23,480 million from HUF 28,227 million, according to the Budapest Stock Exchange.

On September 29, 2026, 4iG published an invitation for an extraordinary meeting with six agenda items, including changes to supervisory and executive mandates. On September 30, 2026, the company reported 299,074,974 issued ordinary shares and 9,347,590 treasury shares in its share-capital disclosure, according to 4iG.
